Question

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 6x - 24. Which expression represents the length of one side?

Answer 1

side = 2x - 8

Explanation:

An equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides.

The perimeter is 3 times one side

In this case P = 6x - 24

Side = p/3 = (6x - 24)/3

Side = 2x - 8
